Newspapers in Education is a cooperative effort between schools and newspapers to promote the use of newspapers as an educational resource. There are more than 700 newspapers across the United States and Canada participating in NIE. The program has been in existence for more than 30 years.

The Springfield News-Leader Newspapers in Education program provides newspaper-based instructional materials for the educator looking for new resources in teaching. Reading about local and international events helps students to develop a clearer understanding of the world, enabling them to become better citizens and educated consumers.

Newspapers are a key resource for teaching concepts and skills in all subject areas and grade levels. They allow you to bridge the gap between your class curriculum and the real world. Each day's newspaper offers its own unique educational services.

Newspapers are provided at the educational rate for teachers participating in the NIE program. Only .25 cents per copy. Minimum 5 copies/day to qualify for this rate.

School delivery is offered any day except Saturday and Sunday.

Frequency or delivery is based on your needs - daily, weekly - the choice is yours.
